Aviation inevitably took on much terminology from the maritime world as it was concerned with navigation, ie the science of conducting a vessel (Lit. a container) from a to b by scientific means. No one else had the skills to do this, it all derived from the maritime world.
Hull, fin, bulkhead, stringer, rudder, galley, tiller (as opposed to steering-thingy) heading, track, (tidal) drift. There must be dozens more.
That's why naval aviation is the purest form of the Science.
Fly Navy!
Sail Army.
Eat Crab.
